IE Driver Error: Browser zoom level was set to 104%. It should be set to 100%???

[sirus tula]

I'm unable to run my tests via Internet Explorer driver. Whenever i try to run the script, it opens up the IE but I get the error message as attached below. It's happening both in selenium 2.27.0 and 2.28.0.

 

Current selenium version: 2.27.0.

Driver: IE Driver

System: Windows 7 64 BIT

Here's my snippet of driver script that drivers browsers just in case if you arei nterested.

 

public static WebDriver get() {
        if(useThisDriver==null){

            //String defaultBrowser= System.getProperty(BROWSER_PROPERTY_NAME, "FIREFOX");
           

            String defaultBrowser = "IE";
            long startBrowserTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            switch (defaultBrowser) {
                case "FIREFOX":
                    FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
                    profile.setEnableNativeEvents(true);

                    aDriver = new FirefoxDriver();//profile);
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.FIREFOX;
                    break;

                case "OPERA":

                    aDriver = new OperaDriver();
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.OPERA;
                    break;

                case "HTMLUNIT":

                    aDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.HTMLUNIT;
                    break;

                case "IE":

                    String currentUserDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
                    String IEDriverLocation = currentUserDir + "/tools/iedriver_64/IEDriverServer.exe";
                    System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", IEDriverLocation);
                    aDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.IE;
                    break;

                case "GOOGLECHROME":
                    // http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/sysprop.html
                    String currentDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
                    String chromeDriverLocation = currentDir + "/tools/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe";
                    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverLocation);

                    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                    options.addArguments("disable-plugins");
                    options.addArguments("disable-extensions");

                    aDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.GOOGLECHROME;
                    break;

                case "SAUCELABS":

                    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
                    capabilities.setCapability("version", "5");
                    capabilities.setCapability("platform", Platform.XP);
                    try {
                        // add url to environment variables to avoid releasing with source
                        String sauceURL = System.getenv("SAUCELABS_URL");
                        aDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(
                                new URL(sauceURL),
                                capabilities);
                    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.SAUCELABS;
                    break;
            }

            long browserStartedTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            browserStartTime = browserStartedTime - startBrowserTime;

            // we want to shutdown the shared brower when the tests finish
            Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(
                    new Thread(){
                        public void run(){
                            DriverManager.quit();
                        }
                    }
            );

        }else{

            try{
                // is browser still alive
                if(aDriver.getWindowHandle()!=null){
                    // assume it is still alive
                }
            }catch(Exception e){
                if(avoidRecursiveCall){
                    // something has gone wrong as we have been here already
                    throw new RuntimeException();
                }

                quit();
                aDriver=null;
                avoidRecursiveCall = true;
                return get();
            }

            savedTimecount += browserStartTime;
            System.out.println("Saved another " + browserStartTime + "ms : total saved " + savedTimecount + "ms");
        }

        avoidRecursiveCall = false;
        return aDriver;
    }

Any help would be appreciated.

 Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Browser zoom level was set to 104%. It should be set to 100%

As per exception, make sure you set browser zoom level to 100% manually before you run test cases and run again.

Good answer but how do you do that?

I tried ignoring zoom settings  but it didn't work.

 case "IE":

                    String currentUserDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
                    String IEDriverLocation = currentUserDir + "/tools/iedriver_64/IEDriverServer.exe";
                    System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", IEDriverLocation);

          DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

          caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);

                    aDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
                    currentDriver = BrowserName.IE;
                    break;

Everyone is right on the money. Set your zoom level to 100%. Easiest way to do that is manually open the browser and type "Control+0" (that is, hold the control key down and type the number zero).

I'm replying here because I want to address the statement "I tried ignoring zoom settings but that didn't work." You set the capability for ignoring the zoom settings, but then never used it with the IE driver. I'm not a Java expert, but I believe there's a constructor overload for InternetExplorerDriver that takes a Capabilities parameter. You'd need to pass that capabilities object into the constructor for the IE driver to know what to do with it.

Great link Freddy.

I fixed the issue by doing "Ctrl and scrolling the window" to unzoom the IE. I never remember zooming the IE explorer window.
Nevertheless, it seems weird that the IE driver works only in 100% zoom window.

Thanks Jim, for the response.

Hi you are creating the DesiredCapabilities for IE but not passing it to the constructor while creating the InternetExplorerDriver().

OLD CODE:

----------------

 System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", IEDriverLocation);

          DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

          caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);

                    aDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

NEW CODE

--------------------

 System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", IEDriverLocation);

          DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

          caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);

                    aDriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(caps);

Hi could plz tell me how can i set chrome zoom level at 75% or 80 % and run the script so that it driver can ignore the zoom setting.
